Riverside then had a decent chance through Callum Hutchison, his cross was caught in the wind and the ball hit the bar before the chance fell flat.
Milton's Jordan Brown's left footed effort was easily saved by the goalkeeper before Riverside got the ball up the pitch. Milton made the breakthrough after 11 minutes through a free-kick from Jordan Brown; Brown's free-kick from 30 yards deceived the keeper, and the ball flew over his head and into the back of the net for 1-0. Milton had an excellent chance to make it two through Ross Leary, whose shot was well saved by Chris Orr.
Riverside so nearly equalised through Callum Hutchison, his shot was saved by the keeper. Riverside were now dominating the match but still they couldn't find a way to goal despite passing the ball better than Milton.

Milton still lead at half time.
